This is one of the largest I have ever seen come out of the egg. Doesn't look like this one will need to eat for a long while.

the stripe pattern show's up in hypo fla and not normal?

Well Hypos in general have a much different look than normals..but I have never seen a normal with more than a 1 inch stripe on the neck. I produced one like this 2 years ago, wish I never let it go. Tom Stevens

I believe i have never seen even a partial striped normal fla.
Both my male hypos have partial striping on their tails.
How about the extreme lav. with a full stripe that would soooooo-cool.

I've wondered something similar for a while, like the head pattern and the stripes in the hypos you don't see it in other brooks muations...

i saw a striped lavender once but i don't see many people poping out striped lavender, axanthic,snow, even WS Brooksi at random! yet the striped/aberrant in the hypo gene pool can pop up from two banded parents??? (more than just what we make of it... i think so!)

maybe it's possible for a normal fla to have a full stripe. without the use of cali blood,lol!

I have been breeding the hypo brooks from Doug Beard and The Love stock since there inception. I have never gotten a "het" hypo with any striping. It only shows up in the hypos. I breed a lot of hypo males to het females so I think its just something that comes along with that abmorality when the hypo gene is present.

you think of the possibility of a striped extreme Lav.

Thats a dead end question.

I have never seen striping in lavenders unless they are related to cal kings....which they all are. I have seen it in some 50/50 crosses and such. Never a fully stripe one on a bred out lavender though.

I think the hypo gene lends itself to a bit of striping which has nothing to do with Cal kings or any other kind of hybrid breeding. It just the anomality that comes with it.

How about a reverse stripe? i'm thinkin that might be possible.

It's not a common occurrence, but I have seen quite a few of them. I've seen 1 or 2 with full body stripes. And several others with a halfway stripe. I see more "reverse stripes" than regular light colored stripes.

I think pattern abberancies on Florida kings are ugly though, so I really haven't bothered taking too many pics. Here's one I caught with a reverse stripe a few inches long close to its neck:

Looks like a juvenile colorwise, but its really a 3 foot plus adult male. I can probably dig up some more photos of FL kings with stripes, but I'll do that later, gotta leave for work now.

and i would'nt mind seeing that stripe go all the way down it's back, also that's a diff. looking fla than what i'm used to.
thanks for sharing

That king came from around Lake Okeechobee, where most non-brooksi Florida kings originate from. He's from an area where a lot of brighter colored kings are found, too. It's unusual to find an all black one like that in that particular locality. I think the week after I found that one, a friend of mine found a nice yellow one under the same piece of trash.

The variance of them even within the same area makes me realize we're dealin with a lot more than what we know.

I like that. Can we see more later on?

not exactly striped but I thought this female was just ugly enough to be cool. The lack of pattern sort of makes a "stripe" I guess, especially at the tail.
